Abstract

Thermoelectric devices are semiconductor strategies which are endowed of generating a voltage when positioned in between a temperature gradient, exploiting the See beck effect, or producing a temperature gradient when powered by electricity, exploiting the pettier effect. The potential for thermoelectric power generation Thermo electric power generation offer a potential application in the direct conversion of waste-heat energy into electrical power where it is unnecessary to consider the cost of the thermal energy input. The application of this alternative green technology in converting waste-heat energy directly into electrical power can also improve the overall efficiencies of energy conversion systems.
